LAS VEGAS (تشرين الثاني 24, 2019) – WBC بطل العالم الوزن الثقيل ديونتاري “الانتحاري البرونزي” وايلدر continued his title reign with a one-punch knockout victory over لويس “كينج كونج” أورتيز in the seventh round of their rematch Saturday night that headlined a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Wilder made his 10عشر consecutive successful title defense, tying him with Joe Louis, محمد علي, مايك تايسون, لاري هولمز, Tommy Burns and Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko as the only heavyweight champions to achieve that feat.
في مباراة العودة من ملحمة بهم 2018 fight that saw Wilder rally back from nearly being stopped to knock out Ortiz in round 10, the fight again saw both men hold the momentum of the fight at different times.
Ortiz controlled much of the action of the fight as he sought to become the first Cuban heavyweight champion in history. Wilder was not very active in the early rounds, while Ortiz was able to effectively jab, move and throw overhand lefts to rack up rounds on the scorecard.
“With Ortiz, you can see why no other heavyweight wants to fight him,” سعيد ايلدر. “He’s very crafty, he moves strategically and his intellect is very high. I had to measure him in certain places.”
Much of Wilder’s attack throughout the first six rounds was centered on his jab and a sweeping left hook that didn’t seem to land cleanly until early in round seven. With the seventh round waning, Wilder used a feint and a straight right cross to put Ortiz down, the first time he had been hurt at all in the fight.
“I had to go in and out and finally I found my measurement,” سعيد ايلدر. “I saw the shot and I took it. My intellect is very high in the ring and no one gives me credit for me. I think I buzzed him with a left hook earlier in the round and I took it from there.”
While Ortiz was able to get to his feet, referee Kenny Bayless waived off the bout at 2:51 في الجولة السابعة. Ortiz led on all three scorecards, by margins of 58-56 و 59-55 مرتين. وفقا لCompubox, Ortiz out landed Wilder 35 إلى 34, مع 28 إلى 17 advantage in power punches.
“هذه ملاكمة,” سعيد أورتيز. “I said that one of us was going to get knocked out and it wasn’t going to go 12 جولات. I was clear headed when I hit the canvas. When I heard the referee say seven I was trying to get up, but I guess the count went a little quicker than I thought.
“This was a great fight and I thought I was clearly winning,” continued Ortiz. “I got caught with a big shot and I have to give Deontay Wilder a lot of credit. I knew my movement was giving him problems. I landed some big shots and I thought I had him hurt. I thought I was up by the count and could have continued.”
In the ring following the fight, Ortiz asserted that he will continue his quest for a heavyweight championship.
“Deontay showed great will and I’m not ashamed with my performance,” سعيد أورتيز. “I know I can beat anyone in the heavyweight division. My career is not over. I’m going to work my way back into a big fight.”
بعد المعركة, Wilder told FOX Sports’ Heidi Androl that his goal is to unify the heavyweight division and become undisputed champion.
“التالى, we have Tyson Fury in the rematch,” said Wilder.” It’s scheduled for February, لذلك سنرى. ثم, I want unification. I want one champion, one face and one heavyweight champion – ديونتاري وايلدر. The heavyweight division is too small, there should be one champion and it’s Deontay Wilder.”
في حال شارك في الرئيسية, الأسد “زلزال” سانتا كروز (37-1-1, 19 كوس) became a four-division world champion by capturing the WBA Super Featherweight with a unanimous decision over ميغيل فلوريس (24-3, 12 كوس).
“Winning this title means the world to me,” وقال سانتا كروز. “This is all for the fans who support me. I didn’t feel myself today and didn’t perform the way I wanted to. I’m going to get back in the gym and get a big fight in 2020.”
The action began to heat up in round three, as Santa Cruz began to find a home for his straight right hand that would help him control much of the remainder of the fight. Flores adjusted and used more movement to try to counteract Santa Cruz’s aggression and also focused on countering those right hands with body shots.
“I’m glad I got the victory,” وقال سانتا كروز. “Miguel is a good fighter, he gave me a tough fight and he proved he’s not a pushover. We put on a great battle.”
“It was a good fight and I showed I belong at this level,” سعيد فلوريس. “I just went 12 rounds with Leo Santa Cruz. It’s not an accomplishment in itself but I slowed down his pace. وقال كأنني قبل, it’s not only about throwing punches, but it’s about ring IQ and I showed I have it.”
Despite Flores’ tactics, Santa Cruz was able to stay in control and frustrate his opponent. Flores was deducted a point by referee Tony Weeks in round eight due to excessive holding during the many exchanges.
Santa Cruz held the edge in punches landed at 253 إلى 222, while Flores threw more punches than Santa Cruz by a tally of 1024 إلى 907.
“It was a close fight and I didn’t think he was landing too much,” سعيد فلوريس. “He was busy but he wasn’t landing too many shots. I landed cleaner harder shots but he was just busier.”
Flores continued to try to rough up Santa Cruz and accidentally hit him with a headbutt in the ninth round that opened up a cut over Santa Cruz’s left eye. The four-division champion was able to weather that cut and finished strong on his way to a unanimous decision by scores of 115-112 و 117-110 مرتين. Watch highlights هنا.
“I want to stay at 130,” وقال سانتا كروز. “We want the big fights in 2020. I want Gervonta Davis or Gary Russell Jr. I want to show the world I’m not scared of anybody.”
The pay-per-view also featured WBA Super Bantamweight Champion براندون “The Heartbreaker” فيغيروا (20-0-1, 15 كوس) retaining his title with a split draw against former champion يوليو سيجا (32-4-1, 28 كوس) بعد 12 rounds of action.
“I think I did win the fight,” سعيد فيغيروا. “He put on a lot of pressure, but I fought better in the early rounds and I finished strong.”
Figueroa started the fight in control, closing down the distance early and using his activity and combinations to take early control of the action. Ceja’s strategy early was to counter his charging opponent, but he soon picked up the aggression to not allow Figueroa’s offensive momentum to grow.
In the middle rounds, Ceja began taking control, landing the more powerful punches while Figueroa continued to come forward, but was not able to land anything that slowed Ceja’s offense. Watch highlights هنا.
Figueroa was able to weather the storms in the middle rounds and make it to the late rounds where he again picked up the activity and body attack. He was able to bust Ceja’s lip throughout the action, causing it to swell and bleed.

Ceja was not able to win the title after failing to make the 122-pound limit at Friday’s weigh-in.
“I basically fought a person in a weight class above mine tonight,” سعيد فيغيروا. “I’m pretty sure if he weighed 122, it wouldn’t even be a close fight. We have to run the rematch back but he better make the weight.”
The pay-per-view opener saw Mexico’s إدواردو راميريز (23-2-3, 10 كوس) deliver an impressive fourth-round TKO victory over previously unbeaten Leduan بارتيليمي (15-1-1, 7 كوس) in their featherweight rematch. Watch the highlightهنا
“I said before the fight, I wasn’t going to let it go to the judges,” said Ramirez. “The first fight wasn’t a draw. I worked very hard for this and it turned out how I wanted today. I felt his punching power. انه مقاتل جيد. I came here to fight. Viva Mexico.”
The fight began tactically, with Barthelemy looking to use his reach advantage to work off of his jab, while Ramirez sought to work inside and deliver power punches. في الجولة ثلاثة, Ramirez began to break through Barthelemy’s defense with a series of hooks late in the round.
Ramirez continued to come forward in round four, pressing Barthelemy and finding additional cracks in his defense. Late in the round, Ramirez broke through with a glancing right hook that he followed up with a perfect straight left that put Barthelemy down.
While Barthelemy was able to get to his feet, referee Russell Mora waived off the bout at 2:59 of the fourth round. Ramirez held a 73 إلى 52 advantage in punches landed, بما فيه 27 in round three and 31 in round four.
“أنا عندي أي أعذار,” سعيد بارتيليمي. “The better man won tonight. I had a great camp and I was feeling good. But when I got out there I wasn’t really feeling my best. I turned around to try to walk around and get my feet under me after the knockdown. I wasn’t trying to stop the fight or anything and I thought I could continue. Now I just have to live with it and come back.”
